BOTOX® treatments can be an excellent, non-invasive alternative to surgery. Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeons most commonly uses BOTOX® to treat the vertical lines between the eyebrows, frown lines, horizontal lines on the forehead, or crow's feet, the wrinkling along the sides of the eyes. Bands or strings along the neck may also respond to this treatment.

BOTOX®, a purified protein, is injected into small muscles in the face or neck, temporarily blocking the nerve endings. This reduces wrinkles, stress and tension that are reflected in the face. A few local pricks, taking just minutes, can complete the treatment, softening the lines caused by a frown or a squint. The injections can last for up to six months. Repeat treatment can thin or flatten the muscles and keep tension from re-appearing. Improvement is nearly immediate, as you experience a tension-free "afterglow".

Soft Tissue Fillers

Tissue enhancement with a fat transfer is a semi-permanent treatment to restore natural volume for a more youthful appearance. This is a procedure that many celebrities are choosing these days. By injecting your own fat into the soft tissue layers, Cosmetic surgeons are able to artistically erase and smooth facial lines. Fat transfer is also very effective in creating a luscious, fuller lip line and in filling hollows in the upper or lower eyelid. Other injectable fillers can stop wrinkles in their tracks. Dermal fillers are innovative, non-surgical treatments to help rejuvenate and re-shape the face by reducing fine lines and creases. Hyaluronic-acid-based fillers, like Hylaform, Restylane, Captique and Juvéderm, or collagen-replacement fillers, like Sculptra, can help turn back the clock and provide limitless benefits.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a clarifying treatment that can reduce the signs of aging while turning a dull complexion into one that glows. Tiny medical grade aluminum oxide crystals polish and exfoliate the skin, while a vacuum setting removes the dead skin cells. Microdermabrasion leaves your skin silky smooth and refreshed.
